<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module was created to improve the performance of
    websites relying on backend connections to LDAP servers. In
    addition to the functions provided by the standard LDAP
    libraries, this module adds an LDAP connection pool and an LDAP
    shared memory cache.</p>

    <p>To enable this module, LDAP support must be compiled into
    apr-util. This is achieved by adding the <code>--with-ldap</code>
    flag to the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> script when building
    Apache.</p>

    <p>SSL/TLS support is dependent on which LDAP toolkit has been
    linked to <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#apr" title="see glossary">APR</a>. As of this writing, APR-util supports:
    <a href="http://www.openldap.org/">OpenLDAP SDK</a> (2.x or later),
    <a href="http://developer.novell.com/ndk/cldap.htm">Novell LDAP
    SDK</a>, <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/LDAP_C_SDK">
    Mozilla LDAP SDK</a>, native Solaris LDAP SDK (Mozilla based) or the
    native Microsoft LDAP SDK. See the <a href="http://apr.apache.org">APR</a>
    website for details.</p>

<h2><a name="pool" id="pool">LDAP Connection Pool</a></h2>

    <p>LDAP connections are pooled from request to request. This
    allows the LDAP server to remain connected and bound ready for
    the next request, without the need to unbind/connect/rebind.
    The performance advantages are similar to the effect of HTTP
    keepalives.</p>

    <p>On a busy server it is possible that many requests will try
    and access the same LDAP server connection simultaneously.
    Where an LDAP connection is in use, Apache will create a new
    connection alongside the original one. This ensures that the
    connection pool does not become a bottleneck.</p>

    <p>There is no need to manually enable connection pooling in
    the Apache configuration. Any module using this module for
    access to LDAP services will share the connection pool.</p>

    <p>LDAP connections can keep track of the ldap client
    credentials used when binding to an LDAP server. These
    credentials can be provided to LDAP servers that do not
    allow anonymous binds during referral chasing. To control
    this feature, see the
    <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapreferrals">LDAPReferrals</a></code> and
    <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapreferralhoplimit">LDAPReferralHopLimit</a></code>
    directives. By default, this feature is enabled.</p>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="cache" id="cache">LDAP Cache</a></h2>

    <p>For improved performance, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> uses an aggressive
    caching strategy to minimize the number of times that the LDAP
    server must be contacted. Caching can easily double or triple
    the throughput of Apache when it is serving pages protected
    with mod_authnz_ldap. In addition, the load on the LDAP server
    will be significantly decreased.</p>

    <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> supports two types of LDAP caching during
    the search/bind phase with a <em>search/bind cache</em> and
    during the compare phase with two <em>operation
    caches</em>. Each LDAP URL that is used by the server has
    its own set of these three caches.</p>

    <h3><a name="search-bind" id="search-bind">The Search/Bind Cache</a></h3>
      <p>The process of doing a search and then a bind is the
      most time-consuming aspect of LDAP operation, especially if
      the directory is large. The search/bind cache is used to
      cache all searches that resulted in successful binds.
      Negative results (<em>i.e.</em>, unsuccessful searches, or searches
      that did not result in a successful bind) are not cached.
      The rationale behind this decision is that connections with
      invalid credentials are only a tiny percentage of the total
      number of connections, so by not caching invalid
      credentials, the size of the cache is reduced.</p>

      <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> stores the username, the DN
      retrieved, the password used to bind, and the time of the bind
      in the cache. Whenever a new connection is initiated with the
      same username, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> compares the password
      of the new connection with the password in the cache. If the
      passwords match, and if the cached entry is not too old,
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> bypasses the search/bind phase.</p>

      <p>The search and bind cache is controlled with the <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapcacheentries">LDAPCacheEntries</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapcachettl">LDAPCacheTTL</a></code> directives.</p>
    

    <h3><a name="opcaches" id="opcaches">Operation Caches</a></h3>
      <p>During attribute and distinguished name comparison
      functions, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> uses two operation caches
      to cache the compare operations. The first compare cache is
      used to cache the results of compares done to test for LDAP
      group membership. The second compare cache is used to cache
      the results of comparisons done between distinguished
      names.</p>

      <p>Note that, when group membership is being checked, any sub-group
      comparison results are cached to speed future sub-group comparisons.</p>

      <p>The behavior of both of these caches is controlled with
      the <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapopcacheentries">LDAPOpCacheEntries</a></code>
      and <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapopcachettl">LDAPOpCacheTTL</a></code>
      directives.</p>
    

    <h3><a name="monitoring" id="monitoring">Monitoring the Cache</a></h3>
      <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> has a content handler that allows
      administrators to monitor the cache performance. The name of
      the content handler is <code>ldap-status</code>, so the
      following directives could be used to access the
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> cache information:</p>

      <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/server/cache-info"&gt;
    SetHandler ldap-status
&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>


      <p>By fetching the URL <code>http://servername/cache-info</code>,
      the administrator can get a status report of every cache that is used
      by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> cache. Note that if Apache does not
      support shared memory, then each <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> instance has its
      own cache, so reloading the URL will result in different
      information each time, depending on which <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>
      instance processes the request.</p>

<h2><a name="settingcerts" id="settingcerts">SSL/TLS Certificates</a></h2>

    <p>The different LDAP SDKs have widely different methods of setting
    and handling both CA and client side certificates.</p>

    <p>If you intend to use SSL or TLS, read this section CAREFULLY so as to
    understand the differences between configurations on the different LDAP
    toolkits supported.</p>

    <h3><a name="settingcerts-netscape" id="settingcerts-netscape">Netscape/Mozilla/iPlanet SDK</a></h3>
        <p>CA certificates are specified within a file called cert7.db.
        The SDK will not talk to any LDAP server whose certificate was
        not signed by a CA specified in this file. If
        client certificates are required, an optional key3.db file may
        be specified with an optional password. The secmod file can be
        specified if required. These files are in the same format as
        used by the Netscape Communicator or Mozilla web browsers. The easiest
        way to obtain these files is to grab them from your browser
        installation.</p>

        <p>Client certificates are specified per connection using the
        LDAPTrustedClientCert directive by referring
        to the certificate "nickname". An optional password may be
        specified to unlock the certificate's private key.</p>

        <p>The SDK supports SSL only. An attempt to use STARTTLS will cause
        an error when an attempt is made to contact the LDAP server at
        runtime.</p>

    <h3><a name="settingcerts-novell" id="settingcerts-novell">Novell SDK</a></h3>

        <p>One or more CA certificates must be specified for the Novell
        SDK to work correctly. These certificates can be specified as
        binary DER or Base64 (PEM) encoded files.</p>

        <p>Note: Client certificates are specified globally rather than per
        connection, and so must be specified with the LDAPTrustedGlobalCert
        directive as below. Trying to set client certificates via the
        LDAPTrustedClientCert directive will cause an error to be logged
        when an attempt is made to connect to the LDAP server..</p>

        <p>The SDK supports both SSL and STARTTLS, set using the
        LDAPTrustedMode parameter. If an ldaps:// URL is specified,
        SSL mode is forced, override this directive.</p>

        <p>One or more CA certificates must be specified for the OpenLDAP

        <p>Both CA and client certificates may be specified globally
        (LDAPTrustedGlobalCert) or per-connection (LDAPTrustedClientCert).
        When any settings are specified per-connection, the global
        settings are superseded.</p>

        <p>The documentation for the SDK claims to support both SSL and
        STARTTLS, however STARTTLS does not seem to work on all versions
        of the SDK. The SSL/TLS mode can be set using the
        LDAPTrustedMode parameter. If an ldaps:// URL is specified,
        SSL mode is forced. The OpenLDAP documentation notes that SSL
        (ldaps://) support has been deprecated to be replaced with TLS,
        although the SSL functionality still works.</p>

    <p>Specifies the maximum age, in seconds, that a pooled LDAP connection can remain idle
    and still be available for use.  Connections are cleaned up when they are next needed,
    not asynchronously.</p>

    <p>A setting of 0 causes connections to never be saved in the backend
    connection pool.  The default value of -1, and any other negative value,
    allows connections of any age to be reused.</p>

    <p>For performance reasons, the reference time used by this directive is
    based on when the LDAP connection is returned to the pool, not the time

    <p>Since 2.4.10, new measures are in place to avoid the reference time
    from being inflated by cache hits or slow requests.  First, the reference
    time is not updated if no backend LDAP conncetions were needed. Second,
    the reference time uses the time the HTTP request was received instead
    of the time the request is completed.</p>

    <p>Some LDAP servers divide their directory among multiple domains and use referrals
    to direct a client when a domain boundary is crossed. This is similar to a HTTP redirect.
    LDAP client libraries may or may not chase referrals by default. This directive
    explicitly configures the referral chasing in the underlying SDK.</p>


    <p><code class="directive">LDAPReferrals</code> takes the following values:</p>
    <dl>
     <dt>"on"</dt>
     <dd> <p> When set to "on", the underlying SDK's referral chasing state
              is enabled, <code class="directive">LDAPReferralHopLimit</code> is used to
              override the SDK's hop limit, and an LDAP rebind callback is
              registered.</p></dd>
     <dt>"off"</dt>
     <dd> <p> When set to "off", the underlying SDK's referral chasing state
              is disabled completely.</p></dd>
     <dt>"default"</dt>
     <dd> <p> When set to "default", the underlying SDK's referral chasing state
              is not changed, <code class="directive">LDAPReferralHopLimit</code> is not
              used to overide the SDK's hop limit, and no LDAP rebind callback is
              registered.</p></dd>
    </dl>

    <p>The directive <code class="directive">LDAPReferralHopLimit</code> works in conjunction with
    this directive to limit the number of referral hops to follow before terminating the LDAP query.
    When referral processing is enabled by a value of "On", client credentials will be provided,
    via a rebind callback, for any LDAP server requiring them.</p>
